New continuation patent protects the ability to authenticate users from their unique biological signals, unlocking secure payments, user detection, and authorized actions

Yokneam Illit, Israel, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wearable Devices Ltd. (NASDAQ:WLDS, WLDSW))) ("Wearable Devices" or the "Company"), a technology growth company specializing in artificial intelligence ("AI")-powered touchless sensing wearables, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted a new continuation patent in its foundational patent family titled "Gesture and Voice-Controlled Interface Device."

This continuation patent significantly strengthens the Company’s intellectual property portfolio by covering technologies relating to authentication of users based on combined gesture and unique biological signals. The granted claims cover a gesture interface device and method that combine gesture sensors with biopotential sensors to record neural signals when the device is worn.
